Are you Joking??? Academically, Cretin is a nothing compared to STA, the only thing they care about is athletics. They used to be exactly the same as STA, but they shifted their priorities to sports and dropped the military and combined with Derham. Dota, STA is a fine institution and I am glad it ...

As the father of a current Cadet this is my understanding as well. I have been told STA remains at its assigned levels because they don't want to raise the perceived importance of any one sport over the institution or other sports. . I dont doubt that is what you(and others ) are told. But, IMO , i...

STA doesn't opt up because it would signal a shift in priorities leaning towards athletics, which has stated a couple times now. I don't know how people don't understand this. We dont understand it because it doesn't make any sense. What difference does it make, from an academic standpoint, which c...

I gave you the facts, deal with it. The school has been around for 150 YEARS, they have been good at hockey the last 6 YEARS, they have not always focused on hockey. Again, do you actually know anything about the school? They are assigned to play AAA at baseball, so they play there. If they were as...

I can't give you a reason for Breck, but this person can give you one about STA: I have many close family ties at STA, and the reason STA doesn't opt up to AA has nothing to do with being trophy chasers or wanting to make the state tournament more often..... The reason they don't opt up is because t...

As much as I love northern hockey, is that really what we want for A? What do you (not meant to be personel) want? Whatever it is that people want, the teams that win will be from schools that have hockey as a priority. ALL of the A titles have been won by old northern power teams or a private exce...

Who is it that you guys want to win? The reason we have 2 classes is because whiners said that the playing field wasn't level and that the big schools had all of the this and that and blah blah. For the 1st ten years or so of A, old time northern teams or Red Wing won. Was that OK? or did those team...

The days are gettin a little longer now with a little more sunlight I actually saw some robins in my front yard. If I wasnt sober, I wouldnt have believed what I was seeing. Its a good sign. Another good sign is that the kids are both gettin out of rehab on the first of the month, which is tommorow ...
